Pelosi: Dems are coalescing behind Hillary for 2016

[William769]

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, on USA TODAY's "Capital Download," says Democrats are coalescing behind Hillary Clinton as the presidential nominee in 2016 -- and predicts she'd win.

WASHINGTON — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday the Democratic Party was coalescing behind Hillary Rodham Clinton as its presidential nominee for 2016, and she urged the former secretary of State to get in the race.

In an interview on USA TODAY's "Capital Download," Pelosi stopped just short of formally endorsing Clinton.

"I'm not making endorsements right now, because I don't think that's appropriate," she demurred. "But I am gauging, I'm gauging. I'm encouraging people to think about it, so in case she asks us, we have something to say to her."

Does she think the party is coalescing behind Clinton?

"I think so; I think so," she said. "There's a great deal of excitement about the prospect that she would run."
